This volume provides an overview of the fast-developing field of tidal disruption events. For several decades, astronomers speculated that a hapless star could wander too close to a massive black hole and be torn apart by tidal forces. Yet it is only with the recent advent of wide-field transient surveys that such events have been detected.
Written by a team of prominent researchers, the chapters detail the discoveries made so far in this burgeoning field of study across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma-rays through X-rays, ultra-violet, optical, infrared, and radio. In addition, they show how tidal disruption events can be used to study the properties of otherwise undetectable supermassive black holes; the populations and dynamics of stars in galactic nuclei; the physics of black hole accretion, including the potential to detect relativistic effects near a SMBH; and the physics of (radio) jet formation and evolution in a pristine environment.
Finally, the book outlines important outstanding questions about TDEs. With more than 100 color images, the volume will be useful to researchers and others interested in learning more about this promising area of astrophysics.

À propos de l’auteur
Iair pronounced ("ya-eer") Arcavi is an observational astrophysicist who studies high energy transients. Arcavi is particulary interested in supernovae, tidal dirsuption events, and neutron star mergers, and in using novel observational techniques to capture their first light, to observe rapidly-evolving events continously, and to systamtically build samples of rare events. For these purposes Arcavi works mainly withthe Las Cumbres Observatory global network of robotic telescopes, is involved in the development of the new SoXS spectroraph, and is a member of the BlackGEM survey. In addition, Arcavi develops tools, such as "followup marshals", to better make use of rapid-response facilities, and to exploit (while not being overwhelmed by) firehose astronomical alert streams.
Sterl Phinney, Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) since 1985, received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1983, followed by two years at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He wrote his first paper on the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes in 1989. His other fields include the theory of accretion disks and extraction of energy from black holes in radio jets, millisecond pulsars, binary stars, globular cluster dynamics, fast radio bursts, and sources of gravitational waves. Phinney chaired the LISA Mission Definition Team (1997-2001) and was Co-Chair of the LISA Sources and Data Analysis Working Group (2001-2011).
Dr E.M. Rossi is a theoretical astrophysicist, working on a broad range of topics, involving gas and star dynamics around compact objects. She obtained her PhD at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, UK. She held her Chandra Fellowship at the University of Boulder, CO, USA. After a postdoctoral position at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, she was hired by Leiden Observatory, the Netherlands, on a tenure track position. Since 2017, she is Associate Professor.
Dr. Nicholas C. Stone is a Senior Lecturer in the Racah Institute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He completed his PhD at Harvard University in 2013, and subsequently worked at Columbia University as both a postdoctoral researcher and as a NASA Einstein fellow. He moved to Jerusalem to start his current faculty position in 2019. Dr. Stone is atheoretical astrophysicist with broad interests in dynamics, hydrodynamics, and general relativity, and has actively researched tidal disruption events since his PhD.
Sjoert van Velzen obtained his PhD in 2014 from the Radboud University in The Netherlands. As a post-doc he worked at the Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. on a Hubble fellowship and as a James Arthur fellow at New York University. In 2020, he returned to the Netherlands for an Assistant Professor position at the Leiden Observatory. His main research topic is massive black holes.

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-

-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
